The Call to Worship
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven, let Your name remain holy.
Bring about Your kingdom.
Manifest Your will here on earth, as it is manifest in heaven.
Give us each day that day’s bread—no more, no less—
And forgive us our debts as we forgive those who owe us something.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
The Listening Party
This week we are pausing for our "Palette Cleanser Sunday," where we switch things up to reset and create space for a new conversation. We will be hosting a listening party where some of us will be sharing songs that are meaningful to us.

Examen
Become aware of God’s presence. Review the day with gratitude. Pay attention to your emotions. Choose one feature of the day and pray from it. Look toward tomorrow.
For what moment today am I most grateful?
For what moment today am I least grateful?
How can I create space for gratitude in my daily life?
Announcements
We have a Slow-Cooker Spirituality group that meets online at 9:30am PST every Thursday. This coming week’s reading will be Revelation 12. Using the Head, Heart, Hands questions, spend some time reflecting on the passage and writing down what emerges for you.
(Head) What do I think about what I read?
(Heart) What do I feel as I am reflecting?
(Hands) What do I do to respond?Next week we will be starting our Advent Conversation as we move towards Christmas.
This past Wednesday, we had our Mental Health Check-in. It was such a great time of holding space to process, listen, and ground ourselves together. Thank you, Sam, for helping us to hold that space together. With the hectic nature of the Christmas season for many people, we will need to get back to you with the next Check-in date.
We are getting ready for a very merry FōS Christmas Party. It will be held at 6pm on Saturday, December 3, at Kurt and Lu's place. We will post the address in the FB Messenger chat, and you can also email us at hello@fos.church to get the address. Looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it.
One of the ways we invest in the future of FōS is through tithes and offering, generous giving. You can give online at www.fos.church/partner. Make sure to follow the instructions.
Our Benediction
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever they may send you;
may Christ guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm;
may Christ bring you home rejoicing: at the wonders they have shown you;
may Christ bring you home rejoicing: once again into our doors.*
